Today was a phenominal day! The Dynamic Librarian strives again....with a wonderful presentation partner, ( a fellow librarian) Carmela. I did three library orientation sessions in a row for ND Law Library Journal students. I pointed out the library web-site, the electronic journals, and making sure they utilize the "Ask-a-Librarian" service. I also pointed out the new feature of the Hesburgh library web-site Students seemed to be really enthusiastic and appreciative of the fact that we offer top-knotch reference assistance for their research needs. What I consider bonuses of the day: complimentary coffee and bagel for breakfast this morning, meeting Law Review students, incoming 1st year law students, talking and laughing with Law Faculty and administrative staffers; also got a chance to chat with Chris O'Byrne. He is so cool! He attended one of my orientation sessions and gave me strong "thumbs up" of how I presented the library to students. He mentioned that he likes my energy...heck, I like his. I thrive on positive reinforcement, especially with my fellow work mates...it adds to my energy levels and I can be my best professional self this way.

This was a very productive day. One more thing, I took advantage and got a free membership to the University Club; this was good because I was low on funds, and I like the idea I can be billed later for my meals. This is yet another ND benefit that my hubby will really enjoy!
